Were you going to host it?

If you are then great. We can use more hosts. If not then there are the always-open games here...

A first player nice =)
In fact in think i m GMT +2 (maybe summer/winter change of time)

@gandalf
i haven t digged much about directplay hosting. But i knew your website so i was sure i could at least host trough it.

But if it s easy to host directly i will do that way.

btw thank you for your help and your site !

Ok so it seems directplay isnt that popular.
I think we can start by reserving some time depending on our availability.
I suggest we do our game on saturday 9th of july at 10Am GMT (which means noon for me at GMT+2 and 3Pm for you Mojo).
Btw i ve lot of freetime in july so don't hesitate to make proposal for another rendez-vous.

Tell me if this can feet your schedule Mojo.
And i hope one or 2 others players will join our feast =)

I dont know if its the direct play as much as the blitz. Getting together to try and get many turns in a game in the same hour is hard unless you do it in one of the chatrooms. IRC channels tend to do blitzes best. But for one-turn-a-day games, direct or pbem seem to be about the same

[Bullock]

i was planing to do this almost one shot, taking the blitz mode with 50 territories. (i guess it d take like 3-4hours?), depending of my opponents will.

I also had in mind to regroup all participants in a Mirc chatroom to ease the playing.

I m waiting mojo's and others potential players wishes.

[Mojo the Avenger]

Yeah that sounds good. 11pm GMT would work a little better for me, but I can do 10 if necessary.

[Bullock]

Ok we lock 11am GMT this next saturday.

If any1 want to join but can t at this time give us your own availability.

It is sometimes easier to organise this kind of thing via the #dominions irc channel. See the sticky in the main forum.
